Is there alcohol in butterbeer?
In the Harry Potter world, the drink does have a very mild touch of alcohol. This version, however, is non-alcoholic.
If you would like to have an adult version, you could add in a shot of butterscotch schnapps or vanilla vodka!
Serving tips
- These are so fun to serve in a clear mug where you can see the butterbeer and the whipped topping.
- Sticking the mugs in the freezer for about 10 minutes before serving creates frosty glasses that help the butterbeer stay colder longer.
